amanda says... Hey Mike (or anyone?) I was reading some research articles that suggest/state that these plants are "highly mycorrhizal dependent" - so I was wondering if this can affect seedling growth - if the right mycorrhiza aren't present in the growing mix..? I'm just wondering why some folks have had their seedlings drop dead for no reason..? (a couple are quite experienced growers) I would be very upset if I lost mine...! Also - do think some bottom heat is worth using for germination..? (It's averaging 10-13 degrees o/night and 17-20 day time..?) Thanks :)

Mike says... Amanda I am not sure about their requirements with m.r. or why they would drop dead. They grow madly and sprout wildly here with no encouragement.I am a bit of a sceptic when it comes to seeds struggling due to a lack of the correct mycorrhizae.On the Atherton tableland this species thrives in winter with lower temps than what you are experiencing now. | About the Author 20th September 2013 7:11pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... Ah - that's good info to know about the Tableland temps Mike - thanks :) It's hard not be a bit nervous when there are no back up seeds handy.. ;-) I have taken precautions against damping off - so I was a bit bothered that might have been a no-no with plants that have m.r. relationships... | About the Author amanda19 Leschenault (150km south of Perth) 20th September 2013 8:49pm #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |
